Unpacking

Starten unpacking in the new shed today. 

First things first. Installing the work bench and shelves are first priority so I can unpack my tools.  

Almost ready to move

Finished packing in the shed last night. 

All the tools and small Parts are boxed, bikes are prepaired for transport and all the shelves are of the wall. 

Next week i can start unpacking in my new shed.

On her own wheels.

Finally she is standing on her own two wheels. Just a few hours of labor and she is finished. Just in time though. I ran out of welding gas when I tried to reinforce some welds. 

I'm going to move to the other side of the country in a couple of weeks. Until then no further progress. Hopefully some progress once i'm settled. 

One down, one more to go

Finally got one side of the frame done. 

Flipped the frame jig over and started cutting in the other side. 

She already starts to look like a true hardtail. 

Just added a few parts to get an idea of the lines. Pretty neat so far. 

Finally some progress

Welded the lower frame tube today.

Next up; Figuring out the new connection between the backbone and the rear engine mount. After that it should be a smooth ride to copy al this to the other side. Hoppefully I have a full roller by the end of this summer.

Beat it

Beating the seatpan in to shape. Slowly getting in to shape. In the meantime I'm also working on a mini- flakegun. No luck there yet. 

New seat pan and frame progress

Started working on a new seat pan. 

Seat will be al little bit longer en narrower. I will try to make the tuck and roll upholstery myself. 

Also pre-fitted the lower frame tube. It still needs a welding tab on the bottom before welding but she's getting there. 

Hopefully I can finish it up this weekend so I can start on the other side. 

No progress this weekend

Did some maintenance on Lucy this weekend. Fresh plugs, oil, battery and some other small parts. Also rearranged te shed a little bit. 

The project is still in need of some serious attention. Hopefully tomorrow or next weekend. 

Smooth

Stille needs some work but she's getting there. 

Welding Saturday

Welding Saturday ended a little earlier today. Out of welding gas. At least I managed to tag one of the frame tubes. Next up: welding the lower tube and of course te other side.

Fabrication time

Picked up a nice lathe last weekend. Tons of ideas running through my head. 

First job; shorten the risers

Rear fender

Shortened the rear fender by 10cm ( 4" ) today. 

Looks a lot better. 

Shelves

Can't get enough of them. 

Sorted the small chopper stuff like grips, cotton braided wire, light etc. 

Lowering the front end

Lowered the front end of Lucy today. 

Found a cheap lowering set on the internet and bought me some new fork seals and oil. The tie-rap on the fork indicates a two inch lowering

The result of 20 minuten of playing with oil and tools. 

Looking a lot better. 

Next up: shorten the rear fender, fix the electrical problems and make some progress with my project.
